— -- What is it about the Wii and video games and screaming kids that fascinates us? I'd sure love to ask the 108,911 folks who've viewed the YouTube clip below.

In it, a Canadian child opening his breathlessly described "Santa gift" takes a few seconds to register what's happened as someone plucks a pearly white Wii console from a plastic shopping bag, then lets forth a blood-curdling scream of...well, one would sure hope excitement.

That, or he's remembering the family's shortly out the door for Disneyland and he won't be able to play it for a whole week.
